Answer:

False

Explanation:

Lipids are the long term energy storage molecules that store a large amount of energy in their carbon-hydrogen bonds. Fats and oils are the storage lipids and are derivatives of fatty acids. Fatty acids have long hydrocarbon chains with many high energy carbon-hydrogen bonds. Excess lipids are mostly stored in the body in the form of fat globules in adipose tissues and are used as fuel when required.

Lipids also serve structural roles. Amphipathic phospholipids are the main component of cell membranes. The lipid bilayer of phospholipids makes the basic structure of membranes in which proteins are embedded. Cell walls are mostly composed of complex sugars or sugar derivatives.

Because skeletal muscle contractions demand large quantities of atp, skeletal muscles have

zheka24 [161]

Skeletal muscle contractions do in fact demand large quantities of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the universal source of cellular energy. In order to accommodate this necessity, skeletal muscle cells (myocytes) are packed with mitochondria, which are the energy powerhouses of the cell.
However, the production of ATP would halt in mitochondria if the necessary substrates (fuels) are not present to enter these organelles, mainly glucose and oxygen (O2). So, additionally, skeletal muscle is also loaded with glycogen, a storage form for glucose (as starch), and myoglobin, an enzyme similar to hemoglobin in that it binds an O2 to hold it for use during contraction.
